Charles Sutton Medal

The Charles Sutton Medal is awarded to the player adjudged best and fairest for the Western Bulldogs. Scott West holds the record at the club, winning seven medals, followed by Gary Dempsey, with six. It is named after 1950 winner Charlie Sutton, who was the Bulldogs' 1954 premiership captain-coach.[1] The voting system as of the 2017 AFL season, consists of five coaches giving each player a ranking from one to three after each match.[2]
